Hello gentlemen,
I want to show you my 4 ultimates pieces for opinion and comment. The first is ( I think ) A Langgai tinggang it length is 26,4" ovl hilt and scabbard made with wood.

The second is a big mandau length 34" the hilt is made with bone and the scabbard have a bone's decorations.

the third have its little piso and much shamanic decorations on its scabbard and its length is 28,4" its hilt is made with wood

and the last is short and strong , its length is 25" and the hilt is made with bone.
Thanks for yours comments and yours light.

Did you buy them recently from Malaysia / Indonesia ?

Imho, this is for those who travel.

Although the decorated pieces with antler and hair may still be used for ceremonial purposes and/or gifts.

Try the seach function and check out mandau / jimpul / langgai tinggang threads. There are quite a few to be found.

Thank you for the strange mandau expertise, but the last question for me is: the first piece is a niabor or langgai tinggang?
